That indian captain enjoyed the the shining of the team left the previous captain ?? who is that previous captain ?? after shining get lost, he started loosing all matches, including shameful performnaces in Malysia..
i think it better for indian cricket if zaheer takes retirement. he is not a good bowler. he got lots of chance but still he is struggling for place in playing 11. newcomers should get chance. both pathan and zaher should be sacked.

Even if 15 minutes extra wud have given to score required 5 runs ,result wud have been indias Victory because india won that match with lot of time to spare. It is just jealosy from Non playing captain Saurav which he realised later as a mistake when he had to undergo all these things in last 2 years.

it was not the 15 minutes or 5 minutes that mattered. It was the positive intent to win (and not personal milestones) you are giving to opposition that does the psychological damage on opposition. Pakistan collapsed under that psychological presure in Multan.

Yes hari you're right... Sachin was the only batsman in the game???? Only bowler in the game??? only fielder ??? only wicket keeper??? So obviously against 11 SriLanka Gorilla's one Sachin had to lose...

ahswani...I am not as big fan of data as Lotiya bhai...but still I would say that Dravid was not a good captain. winning n losing is part n parcel of cricket but Dravid was not a daring captain. He always used to play a safe game. He was afrad of losing the games.

zaheer is mediocre non performing pace bowler. how many match wining performances from him do you remeber ? the last one in england was heavily helped by conditions.

How many fast bowlers took 80 wkts in one season . It is Zaheer khan in 2007. He is probably best Indian pace bowler alongwith sreenath if you consider One day & Test both.

even fully fit zaheer would have got none or one wicket only.!! Time has come to invest on youth. Zaheer is spent force !.
RE:RE:how is your hotel doing in pune ?
by Karunakar Patil on Apr 02, 2008 12:50 PM Permalink
Half fit Zaheer is surely far better than RP, Pathan, Munaf, VRV,Pravinkumar, Ranadeb, Agarkar if consider both form of the game.
RE:RE:RE:how is your hotel doing in pune ?

I have left Sreesanth & Ishant because they have capacity to compete fully fit Zaheer.
RE:how is your hotel doing in pune ?

I agree, this is sorry state of affairs. Not enough fit bowlers. And the bowlers who are fit , do not have the calibre.

Exactly. It is true. Otherwise, now the famous fast bowler ishant sharma couldn't find the place in the game against australia. Thanks for injury. Pray god for give him more injuries.

Lotiya what have you got against all other cricketer just for that sake of you trying to side Zaheer becuase he is from your identity. If you want say that Zaheer is good do not rubish that so and so is racist etc. It is your mentality cannot help it.

I agree. Manokran seems to be a hockey player. Zaheer is better than most blokes on view.
